Never been an avid hunter. But I have had some experiences and some things that they all have in common is that they all required hundreds of miles to get there and back. They all required a substantial amount of time and money getting all the gear sorted out, packed up and loaded...goin' and comin'. At least one whole day cleaning up all the gear and putting it away.
Today I put all that behind me. Due to my new country home I can now hunt off my back porch. A few days ago we noticed a coyote crossing the pasture in front of my house (1st pic). He would trot up the driveway go between the house and the garage (2nd pic).Then he would proceed across the back yard down the hill across the fence and in to the back pasture. (3rd pic. The 4th pic is my hunting position on the back porch.
Preparation takes about 5 minutes and at the end of the hunt I just walk in the back door, lean the shot gun up against the wall in the utility room by the back door and take my empty coffee thermos into the kitchen.
The wily ol' coyote didn't come by today but I never had a more relaxed and enjoyable hunt. All the comforts of home at my finger tips. No muss no fuss no bother. I gotta te' ya, this is my kind of hunting. He keeps coming around I will get him sooner or later. No hurry, It's a great way to spend a couple of hours in the morning.
